Yesterday, my heart was consumed by hate. It took me many hours to find my center, to regain a semblance of peace. The ongoing actions by the #US and #Israel are designed to strip us of our humanity, to fill our hearts with hatred and a desire for revenge against those who blatantly break international laws and those who support them.

The Nseirat massacre, where 274 Palestinian civilians were killed and 698 wounded in a single operation, starkly illustrates how little Palestinian lives are valued on the global stage.

Yet, amidst this pain and anger, it is crucial to resist succumbing to these feelings. To rise above the desire for revenge and instead, to hope that justice, in whatever form it may come, will prevail. It is imperative that we maintain our humanity, to avoid becoming like those who perpetuate such violence. They undoubtedly ache heart and soul, but we cannot let them rob us of ours.

By holding onto our humanity, we honour the lives lost and pave the way for true justice, not one driven by hatred but by a deep sense of what is right and just.
